YMMV / Batman: The Audio Adventures

• Complete Monster:
  • The Joker is a "mass murderer and malignant psychopath" who has been plaguing Gotham for 5 years, and looks to make his biggest splash yet on Valentine's Day. A cruel sadist who once poisoned the children of a police sergeant, then tricked the man into ensuring his kids didn't get the antidote in time to save their lives, the Joker has killed hundreds, if not thousands of people throughout Gotham, his schemes always designed to achieve the highest body count possible. Mentally torturing dozens of people into his loyal slaves and coaxing a boy to poison his own parents in the present, Joker takes an entire bus of passengers hostage and maims several of them, then reveals his newest scheme is to flood Gotham with a "Love Potion" that will drive the millions of citizens insane with homicidal lust, and tests the potion by shoving a woman into it and driving her mad. Though utterly convinced he was "created" by a fall into chemicals, Joker is revealed by Batman to have always been a violent, murderous criminal who enjoyed hurting others, and all the chemicals did was give him a "novelty".
  • Oswald Cobblepot, aka, the Penguin, is Gotham's premier crime lord. Controlling Gotham's criminal underworld for a long while, throughout which he regularly assassinates his rivals, Penguin was responsible for the creation of fellow villain Two-Face when he had attorney Harvey Dent sprayed with acid for trying to prosecute Penguin. Further driving Harvey to madness by taunting him and nearly bombing a pier he owns to kill dozens of civilians, Penguin breaks Harvey into fully embracing Two-Face and becoming his ally to "legally" create his own police force. To further facilitate his authority, Penguin stages the robbery of life-saving organs from a children's hospital, endangering several dying kids so he can paint himself as a hero. A petty bully underneath his veneer of affability, Penguin greatly enjoys Disproportionate Retribution against those who earn his ire. He holds Stoveplate Sullivan's daughter hostage and freezes her pet kitten alive; threatens to feed a senator's infant child to one of his birds; beats a man to death and frames a star player to rig a baseball game; kills and turns a chef into ground meat that is served to hapless patrons; and promises to force one of his minions to choose which of his own family members will die if the minion fails at accomplishing an impossible task.
